Are there many 914 owners who also love some 911 magic?

I sold a 996 to fund the 914 project, then got sucked back in because I missed the driving experience too much. It's truly an illness. A member on the rennlist forum recently posted a very quotable quote regarding the longevity of the infamous M9X engine hung out the back of the 996:
"If you spend more than 5 minutes on this forum you'll learn quickly that they are all time bombs and a proper PPI cost about $2500 so ignore this forum, do some due diligence and use your common sense. Regular maintenance and it should last several tens of miles before the inevitable $35,000 rebuild that can never be verified or confirmed." Owning a 996 does feel a bit like playing a game of Russian Roulette after reading all the horror stories. I know the probability of a catastrophic failure of this engine is 100%. I just hope to get some enjoyment out of it before that happens. |
